Finally got a break in the weather. Flew over to Madras just to check out the area. Madras has the "Best FBO Ever!!!". Everyone there is super nice and the place is decked out.

The food is good, the prices are great, and the gal at the counter said that Pilots get an extra 20% off. (which feels like yer robbing the joint). Check them out.
Apparently there are two parachute operators in the area now. The drop zone is where the taxiway to the old restaurant used to be. I don't know if they'll mow a path around it when the ground dries out more or not. It's a short walk from the tiedowns regardless.
